I thought you had a job doing idris? Did it not work out for you?

It is/was an internship, to be exact — it was excellent and I learned a lot and got to do some really fun stuff, but I decided I'd prefer working with a team in person instead of remote work

Remote work is super hard and challenging - I think I'm getting a handle on it now, but it's taken _months_ even when I was already familiar with my specific job. And I still miss all the incidental social stuff/technical chats that come from working in a shared space.

Yeah, it might be worth trying later on, but I really think at the beginning of you're career it can be super handy to pick up on a bunch of skills and techniques in person. I learned so much from my first few internships and job.
